Scheuermann’s Kyphosis – Adults

Scheuermann’s Kyphosis in aging spines

Adults with Scheuermann’s Kyphosis may benefit from working with a ScoliClinic Physical Therapist to learn Schroth exercises. Although adults are skeletally mature, they may benefit from specific physical therapy exercises to address posture, esthetics, and pain management, as back pain is common in adults with Scheuermann’s Kyphosis.

The ScoliClinic’s physical therapists will review your X-Ray (if available), perform a detailed assessment, and discuss your goals to create a customized home exercise program that is best suited to your needs.

Increase your education on movements to be cautious of, and appropriate modifications to your daily activities

Before your appointment

If you have X-Ray images, be sure to let us know as this will help your Physiotherapist design your treatment plan.

If you or your child already have a brace, physiotherapeutic scoliosis-specific exercises (PSSE) are recommended to maintain postural muscle strength, and to retain as much correction as possible when brace wear ends.

A referral to a spine surgeon and/or bracing can be discussed at the initial assessment.

Please bring:

X-ray images either digitally or on disc if available(we can request them directly from the imaging facility; more info upon booking your initial appointment)

Sports bra / tank top, shorts or leggings
